Really? I would have thought the USA might have had some anti-discrimination laws by now.

As populations in many countries are aging, unemployment is increasing and pensions are under increasing pressure, making such age discrimination economically undesirable, where once it was only morally undesirable.

(Many politicians don't care about doing what's right, except when it happens to intersect with financial responsibility, so maybe there is hope for change here?)
